The CIT Canoe Club hold weekly pool sessions in Leisureworld (Tuesdays at 6.45pm) as well as running river trips throughout the year. If kayaking sounds like your thing and you are interesting in joining the club, drop into the Sports Office on the first floor of the Student Centre and leave a message or [email protected] .
